Gravina v. John S. Tilley Ladders Co., Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 20, 1989
155 A.D.2d 585 (N.Y. App. Div. 1989)

Opinion

November 20, 1989

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Garry, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

The established rule is that a jury verdict will not be set aside as against the weight of the evidence unless the jury could not have reached the verdict it rendered by any fair interpretation of the evidence (see, Cohen v Hallmark Cards, 45 N.Y.2d 493, 499; Passanante v Snyder, 142 A.D.2d 669; Nicastro v Park, 113 A.D.2d 129). In this case a review of the record indicates that the jury reached its verdict on a fair interpretation of the evidence. Thus, the trial court did not err in refusing to set the verdict aside.

The plaintiffs' remaining contention, that the trial court erred in denying their motion to conduct a portion of the trial at the hospital where Mr. Gravina was a patient, is without merit (see, CPLR 4013; 4 Weinstein-Korn-Miller, N Y Civ Prac ¶ 4013.01, at 40-41 — 40-42). Mangano, J.P., Lawrence, Kooper and Balletta, JJ., concur.
